East Goes West/See Stars in Seattle Plus Earl’s and Pearl

Just when we thought Bellevue was “arriving” in terms of the new restaurants opening here in the near future, and, I might add, we HAVE arrived, Seastar decided to open a new spot in Seattle across from the Pan Pacific Hotel. I guess they might as well pick it up on both ends of the bridge. That’s what El Gaucho, Monsoon, Wild Ginger, and 13 Coins are doing by opening restaurants on the Eastside.

According to a reliable source we are also getting another new spot in the Lincoln Center near the Parlor called Earl’s. Earls is a casual dining restaurant chain that operates in Western Canada as well as Arizona and Colorado in the United States, and recently in Mississauga, Ontario. Earls has approximately 50 locations. It is known for its casual but trendy atmosphere, and emphasis on fusion cuisine.

This addition should make Lincoln Center a hub for entertainment of all kinds.
Personally, i am looking forward to Pearl taking over where Trader Vic’s was. I will miss my Scorpion drink wth the fresh gardenia, but maybe I will find a pearl in my martini instead.
